Jonah 2:5-7

New International Version - UK

⁵The engulfing waters threatened me,^[a]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.
⁶To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in for ever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.

⁷‘When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.
